[0:03] I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
[0:08] republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and
[0:14] justice for all.
[0:18] Council member Watkins here. Council member Earl. Mayor Reinhardt here. Vice
[0:25] Mayor Johanus here. Council member
[0:30] Okay. Public comments. Okay. See any new business? Approve
[0:36] change order number one, Compton Street Resurfacing Project. Catch.
[0:40] » Thank you, Mayor Reinhardt. So, as outlined in the memo, we're asking
[0:43] council to approve change order number one for the Compton Street resurfacing
[0:47] project in the amount of $59,270. During curb removal, the contractor
[0:53] discovered that the existing asphalt is significantly thinner than anticipated.
[0:57] nor engineer Aman Marsh determined that the planned inch and a half overlay
[1:01] would not provide enough structural support and could lead to premature
[1:04] failure. Um, our engineer recommends adding a 2-in asphalt base layer beneath
[1:09] the planned inch and a half surface layer. This increases the total contract
[1:13] from $359,731 to $419,1
[1:19] with no additional contract days. Uh, staff recommends approval of the change
[1:23] order to ensure the long-term durability of the road. We'll be happy to answer
[1:27] any questions if you have them. And also a side note, I have reached out to MDOT.
[1:31] Uh they will approve this. So it won't affect our grant. The grant dollars
[1:35] coming in. Um so we have that approved. >> So
[1:40] we have done curb. >> Yeah. You want to talk about the
[1:44] progress you made so far? The south side of the road. All the curbs done on the
[1:48] south side of the road. >> So So adding two does that affect the
[1:53] the curb? What? Well, so that's the thing is if you if we don't go full
[1:58] depth, there's going to be additional wedging because of where the grades we
[2:01] had to set the curbs to get the water to flow because there wasn't proper water
[2:05] drainage. If you go down there right now, we peeled the asphalt that was
[2:08] overlaid over the old curbs and it's already it's like 3 to 4 in on top of
[2:13] the old curbs that were there. So, the new car with putting the new curb in,
[2:18] we're setting those so that they don't need to be overlaid
[2:22] um and that the water will make it to the catch basins on the corners of the
[2:27] streets. >> I guess what I'm trying to figure out is
[2:31] are we leaving the existing base layer as or is that all the way coming out and
[2:36] you're putting the new 2 in? So all the asphalt that's there, what we would do
[2:41] is we would do a 3 and 1/2 in mill over the whole road. And then there's going
[2:45] to be some spots that there asphalt's a little bit deeper because it's not
[2:49] uniform. There's spots that where it's 2 in and there's spots where it's like
[2:52] four to 5 in. Um so what we would do then is turn around and pulverize the
[2:58] rest of the material that's there and use that material that's on site to
[3:02] grade the road. So that when we put the new asphalt, the new three and a half
[3:05] inches in that's what you're gonna have a uniform three and a half inches
[3:09] across. >> I would make sure we burn already set up
[3:13] curbs and then as folding over existing and running over the the curb.
[3:18] » No, no, we won't be going over.
[3:24] » I guess the question I have is there's usually a contingency factor in a lot of
[3:28] these. Is this kind of eaten up into that?
[3:34] We may not see budget impact. >> Yeah, we'll see a slight impact on
[3:40] what's in the contingency because there's been other materials we've made.
[3:43] » Okay. >> But yeah, I mean we're within
[3:46] » Sorry.
[3:50] Okay. And local roads has about 1.1 million in it. So it's not really a big
[3:55] impact. >> Okay.
[4:00] I just want to make sure because I thought they already started curve I
[4:06] didn't want us to go back and do exactly what we did before and we'll go right
[4:10] into >> no yeah we've been trying to avoid that
[4:13] as we can kind of see the issue was going to come about and so the way the
[4:18] curbs are set up now there won't be any water won't make it
[4:24] So
[4:29] » I'll make a motion approve change order number one.
[4:34] » Second. >> All those in favor.
[4:36] » All those opposed. Do I have another motion?
[4:40] » Motion to adjurnn. >> I'll second it.
[4:42] » All those in favor. >> All those opposed. All right.
